Mockingbird Lyrics

Artist: Eminem
Album: Encore

YeahI know sometimes things might not always make sense to you right nowBut hey, what daddy always tell you?Straighten up little soldierStiffen up that upper lipWhat'chu crying about?You got me..

Hailie, I know you miss your momAnd I know you miss your dad when I'm goneBut I'm trying to give you the life that I never hadI can see you're sadEven when you smileEven when you laughI can see it in your eyesDeep inside, you wanna cryCuz you're scaredI ain't there?Daddy's with you in your prayersNo more cryingWipe them tearsDaddy's hereNo more nightmaresWe gonna pull together through itWe gon' do itLaini, uncle's crazy ain't he?Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know itWe're all we got in this worldWhen it spinsWhen it swirlsWhen it whirlsWhen it twirlsTwo little beautiful girlsLooking puzzled, in a dazeI know it's confusing youDaddy's always on the moveMama's always on the newsI try to keep you sheltered from itBut somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do thatthe more it backfires on meAll the things, growing upAs daddy that he had to seeDaddy don't want you to seeBut you see just as much as me (to see?)That we did not plan it to be this wayYou're mother and meBut things have got so bad between usI don't see us ever beingTogether ever againLike we used to be when was teenagersBut then of coarseEverything always happens for a reasonI guess it was never meant to beBut it's just somethingWe have no control overAnd that's what destiny isBut no more worriesRest your head and go to sleepMaybe one day we'll wake upAnd this will all just be a dream

[Chorus]Now hush little baby don't you cryEverythings gonna be alrightStiffen that upper lip up little ladyI told ya, daddy's here to hold yaThrough the nightI know mommy's not here right now and we don't know whyWe feel how we feel insideIt may seem a little crazy, pretty babyBut I promise, Mama's gonna be alright

It's funnyI remember back one year when daddy had no moneyMommy wrapped the Christamas presents upand stuck them under the treeand said some of them were from meCos daddy couldn't buy â'emI'll never forget that ChristmasI sat up the whole night cryin'Cuz daddy felt like a bumSee dadday had a jobBut his job was to keep the food on the table for you and momAnd at the time every house that we lived inEither kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the blockAnd your mom, was saving moneyFor you in a jar trying to start a piggy bank for youSo you can go to collegeAlmost had a thousand dollarsTill someone broke in and stole itAnd I know it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heartAnd it seemed like everything was just starting to fall apartMom and dads was arguing a lotSo mama moved back on the _?____ and the flatOne bedroom apartmentAnd dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on NovarraAnd that's when daddy went to California with his CDAnd met Dr. Dre and flew you and Mama out to see meBut daddy had to workYou and mama had to leave meThen you started seeing daddy on the TVAnd mama didn't like itAnd you and Laini were too young to understand itPapa was a rolling stonemama developed a habitand it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab itI'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first handCuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proudNow I'm sittin' in this empty house, just reminiscin'Looking at your baby pictures it just trips me outTo see how much you both have grownIt's almost like your sisters nowWow, I guess you pretty much areAnd daddy's still hereLaini I'm talking to you tooDaddy's still hereI like the sound of that, yeahIt's got a ring to it, don't it?Shhh, mama's only gone for the moment

[Chorus]Now hush little baby don't you cryEverythings gonna be alrightStiffen that upper lip up little ladyI told ya daddy's here to hold yaThrough the nightI know mommy's not here right now and we don't know whyWe feel how we feel insideIt may seem a little crazy pretty babyBut I promiseMama's gonna be alright

And if you ask me to,Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking birdI'ma give you the worldI'ma buy a diamond ring for youI'ma sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smileAnd if the mockingbird don't sing and the ring don't shineI'ma break that birdy's neckI'll go back to the ***eler who sold it to yaAnd make him eat every karatDon't fuck wit dat.haha
